Letters to the editor: April 26

In response to Mr. Robinson

I read with some interest Mr. Robinson's editorial In the April 17, 2018 issue titled "Only you and I can stop Trump." After reading and rereading did I believe that I may have determined what you and I can stop. It certainly was not stopping the reduction of personal and business taxes; nor was it stopping the decimation of ISIS; nor sending armed missile messages to Assad; nor improving the business environment by ridding our selves of crippling regulations, etc. etc. Therefor it must be stopping the unnatural deviant behavior of the"family firm" and the President's anomalistic administration.

The only reason or reasons I have come to such a conclusion is that all other points or issues Mr. Robinson wished to illuminate were preceded by qualifying words such as : "likely," "may be," "arguably," "by all accounts," "were there," "reportedly," "if," and of course "as everyone knows," thereby eliminating those subjects from serious discussion to be left on the floor of wild speculation and wishing that they may garner some factual or objectifying information in order to gain serious discussion.

Going overboard?

The issue of whether the women’s movement is going overboard or making just enough progress is a tough decision to make when trying to decide if the movement is too extreme or raising awareness.

The concept of Femi-Nazi is a female who is a radical feminist. This term is used when certain women take advantage of the purpose of a women’s movement. All over the world, many women seem to think it’s okay to generalize all men as predators. Since the MeToo hashtag craze started which was created by Tarana Burke, many men have been feeling threaten and are now being seen as predators. This includes men who we seem to forget are fathers and brothers to the female population. Little do we know, is that men are also victims and are not always predators in every case.

The fact that we still continue to think that men are still all predators in every case is unfair to those men who are actually victims in some cases.
